Dear Parishioners:
We regret to inform you of the death of Reverend Father Vittorio Scomparin, who was our Pastor from 2000 to 2016. He died last Sunday, July 29, 2025, in Eraclea, near Venice, Italy. He was 72 years old.
Father Vittorio was especially dedicated to the New Evangelization and introduced the Neocatechumenal Way to our Parish and to the Archdiocese of Vancouver. He assisted in establishing the Archdiocesan Missionary Seminary Redemptoris Mater of Vancouver. He oversaw the seismic upgrade and renovation of our church.
A Memorial Mass for Father Vittorio will be celebrated at Blessed Sacrament Parish this Saturday, August 2, 2025, at 9 a.m. You are all invited to attend.
Fr. Gilbert Nunez, Pastor

Help us "raise the roof!" Drop off your recyclable bottles to help us fix the gym roof.
The shingles on the gym roof have deteriorated and are now causing leaks. Repairing the roof will cost over $120,000, with the parish responsible for $60,000 of that amount. Your support for this important project is both needed and deeply appreciated.
